Oyster Festival

This long-time tradition is a major fundraiser for the York County Heritage Trust, and reflects York County's colonial history.

The event is free, with food served a la carte. Oysters are served stewed, nude, or fried, and there are also steamed shrimp, pork barbecue, hot dogs, homemade apple fritters, and a huge baked sale. Beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages are also served.

The galleries of the museum are open for touring and special artisan demonstrations are featured. Live music is also played throughout the day.
